Welcome to The American Board of Periodontology

May 18, 2020 - The ABP 2020 Qualifying Examination remains scheduled. The 2020 Qualifying Examination (QE) will take place at Pearson Testing Centers from August 17 - August 21, 2020. We are closely monitoring information provided by the Centers of Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) on cover-19. We will update if anything changes.

The mission of the American Board of Periodontology is to certify the achievement of in-depth knowledge and proficiency in the full scope of periodontology and dental implant surgery through examination and periodic recertification.

The vision of the American Board of Periodontology is that all periodontists achieve Board certification and that diplomates of the Board are universally recognized by the public, the dental profession, the medical community, and third-party payers as the preferred providers of periodontal and dental implant surgical care.
